Intro Week Recap

Last week was crazy -freshers week here at Uni in England is a big deal. A BIG deal. Nothing like the few events they put together at UCSD. This is a constant week long fiesta specially made for the crazy students of Leeds Uni and Leeds Met (the other big university in Leeds). Just to give you a little example:
Saturday
got in to Leeds and was completely exhausted from traveling so nothing to exciting there.
Sunday
Welcome party at the union, which is fully equipped with four clubs and a bar. Very fun, very packed.
Monday
The flatmates went to the "Intro Party" at the Union but I missed out on tickets because they went to fast. Instead ate some take away pizza with my Cali girls I met at Orientation.
Tuesday
Went to the pub close to campus called The Library and tied in a game of fooseball with the flat mates.
Wednesday
Foam Party at Halo nightclub. I don't know how I feel about that place seeing as it used to be an old church and now its a nightclub. Still it was a fun night indeed. The first time the foam came I was squashed into the center of the dance floor which was actually quite scary since I am so short and the foam comes from above. The tall people kept pushing it down into my face and I rarely had chances to wipe my eyes. Luckily, the next foam batch, I was around the edge and free to move about. It was beach themed at the club and of course I didn't bring anything beachy with me. The girls thought me of all people would have beach wear. :)
Thursday
Tried to go to one nightclub but it was too crowded so we ended up at GateCrasher where we danced the night away.
Friday
Every Friday at the Union is an event called Fruity. Basically its when they play really cheesy dance music. Went with the other Ca EAP students.
Saturday
We weren't going to do anything but the flats below us dragged us out to more dancing. This time all techno music which was interesting.
Sunday
Stayed in finally! We had delicous chicken curry made by Jamie.

Yes so all of this going out at night plus all the meetings for school made for a pretty hectic week. It was fun but I'm so glad now that things have settled down a bit. I'm starting to get my routine and I can rest better knowing I'm not spending so much money.
